Picks and Pans Review: House of Music

Tony Toni Toné

It would be easy to label Tony Toni Toné as mere (albeit excellent) soul revivalists. Like their previous three CDs, House of Music is flavored with the sounds of old-school R&B, and the group has obviously studied at the feet of the masters. "Thinking of You" is a sly salute to Al Green, while "Holy Smokes & Gee Whiz" is a cool taste of Philly soul. But the Tonys are much more than a tribute band. They realize that soul music is a living, breathing thing that they update with modern, hip-hop rhythms and push passionately toward the future. (Mercury)
